The government of my country (which is newspeak, meaning the bunch of robbers who have quartered he government business here) has first signed a contract with Putin to borrow a huge amount of money for 30 years, which they will then give back to the Russians in return for their building a new nuclear power station of questionable design... then they passed a law that made all the documentation of the deal state secrets for 30 years. They are also subsiding Hollywood with the tax money they collect primarily from the huddled masses, under a so-called "reverse VAT support" scheme,which means productions brought here not only don't pay VAT, they can the amount of VAT they would normally have to pay as a grant from the Hungarian government... And over the past 7 years, they replaced numerous social security payments with "tax discounts" - which means the poorest, with little taxable income, get nothing.

I've think we have laws in scotland. Nobody really bothers much with them, tho.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."- TGRR, raising the bar at work.

I suppose a clarification would be in order. Certainly the use of the word "unjust" or "socially unjust" can and should go down the rabbit hole. First a person has to explain what it is they mean when they speak of justice and argue for that, after which they can argue how and and in which manner this applies to groups.

Define our terms.

When I think of social justice, I think of it in the general sense. That all people should be allowed equal treatment under the law, whether these be considered "just laws" or "unjust laws". If all people are treated the same the the laws of the land, then in my view "social justice" has taken place.

I don't think of social justice in terms of equal outcomes, because we are not equal in our capabilities, nor in our starting points.

So when I ask for examples of social injustice, I'm asking for examples where people are not treated equally under the law.

Like when cops target black guys and the mentally ill homeless almost exclusively? Or how black people are 4 times more likely to face charges for possession of pot than a white dude? That kind of thing?

because there's no laws on the books in that regard, yet it is still a part of the legal system. That sort of thing?

Then you do not believe in social justice and are in fact a shitlord.
